'Jak II: Renegade' - The Complete Official Guide

Piggyback has again joined forces with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. This time piggyback will develop and publish the Jak II: Renegade official strategy guide for PlayStation 2 across Pal territories for simultaneous release with the game. The guide will be published in four separate language SKUs: English, German, French and Spanish.

As with all official piggyback strategy guides, the publication will be printed on high quality paper with stitch binding and a 6-page cover, making it another collector's item from the guide publisher.

The 166-page Jak IITM: Renegade official strategy guide will have been in development for over 5 months. The guide comes complete with official artwork whilst Daxter, Jak's companion, echoes the games unique personality across every page. Daxter guides the gamer through each mission, level and secret, and gives all details relating to weapons, enemies, vehicles, items, in-game orientation and more.

Louie Beatty, Managing Director of piggyback comments, "We are pleased to complete our second official publication in association with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, giving us the opportunity to create essential companions to their leading intellectual properties."
